NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)In what Donald Trumps transition-team members are calling a further example of international coöperation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to receive daily U.S. intelligence briefings in the place of the President-elect.
Trump, who had earlier decided that he did not need the briefings and had assigned Vice-President-elect Mike Pence to receive them, said on Tuesday that Putin was a much better choice.
No offense to Mike, but Vladimir Putin is just a terrific, terrific guy to do this, he said. He knows all the players.
Trump said that, while he was totally uninterested in receiving the briefings, Putin appeared to be extremely interested.
